Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for testing a membrane electrode, fig. 1 is a flowchart of the method for testing a membrane electrode provided by the embodiment of the invention, and referring to fig. 1, the method for testing a membrane electrode comprises a durability test for an anode catalytic layer of the membrane electrode, wherein the durability test for the anode catalytic layer of the membrane electrode comprises an anode voltage cycle durability test and an anti-counter electrode test, and the method for testing the membrane electrode specifically comprises the following steps:
And 110, performing a plurality of circles of tests on the membrane electrode cycle until a set end condition is reached, wherein each circle of tests comprises an anode voltage cycle endurance test and an anti-reverse pole test.
During operation, the anode typically undergoes three processes, start-stop, normal operation, and hydrogen starvation, which can cause serious damage to the membrane electrode. When the fuel cell is started, hydrogen is introduced into an anode flow channel containing a large amount of air, and after the cell stops running, the air is diffused into an anode containing residual hydrogen, and an oxyhydrogen interface is formed in the two processes, so that researches show that the oxyhydrogen interface formed by the anode accelerates carbon corrosion of a cathode catalytic layer. Likewise, hydrogen starvation may occur in different modes of operation of the fuel cell vehicle, such as start-up, shut-down, and duty cycle. In addition, hydrogen supply system failure, flooding of the anode flow channels, and incorporation of extraneous matter may also lead to hydrogen shortages. When hydrogen starvation occurs, the anode cannot provide enough electrons and protons, resulting in an increase in voltage, thereby causing water electrolysis and carbon oxidation reactions, which easily cause anode reversal.
In this embodiment, a plurality of turns of test are performed on the membrane electrode cycle, and each turn of test includes a primary anode voltage cycle endurance test and a primary counter electrode resistance test, so as to implement the endurance test on the membrane electrode anode catalytic layer. The anode voltage cycle endurance test is mainly aimed at the influence of the start-stop process of the vehicle on the membrane electrode, so that the membrane electrode test method of the embodiment takes the degradation factors of the anode catalyst caused by the start-stop into consideration. The anti-counter electrode test corresponds to the situation of hydrogen starvation, namely the membrane electrode test method of the embodiment, and simultaneously considers the situation of anode catalyst degradation caused by anode counter electrode and start-stop, so that the start-stop and anode counter electrode processes occurring on the anode side can be realized, the service life and the durability of the membrane electrode can be rapidly tested, and the test accuracy is improved.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of another method for testing a membrane electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2, optionally, the method for testing a membrane electrode includes:
step 210, performing anode voltage cycle endurance test on the membrane electrode.
The step 210 specifically includes introducing nitrogen gas to the anode side of the fuel cell corresponding to the membrane electrode, introducing hydrogen gas to the cathode side, applying a voltage in a preset voltage range varying at a preset voltage scanning rate between the anode and the cathode of the fuel cell under the conditions of a preset pressure, a preset temperature and a preset cathode-anode humidity, and ending the one-time anode voltage cycle endurance test when the number of voltage scanning turns reaches the preset number of scanning turns.
Specifically, the membrane electrode may be first made into a fuel cell, then nitrogen is introduced into the anode side, hydrogen is introduced into the cathode side, under the conditions of preset pressure, preset temperature and preset cathode-anode humidity, under the condition that the load of the fuel cell is in a voltage mode, voltage in a preset voltage range which changes at a preset voltage scanning rate is applied between the anode and the cathode of the fuel cell, optionally, the preset voltage range is 0.05V-1V, then the voltage applied between the anode and the cathode of the fuel cell may be raised from 0.05V to 1V at the preset voltage scanning rate, then the voltage is continuously lowered from 1V to 0.05V at the preset voltage scanning rate, the voltage is raised from 0.05V to 1V, then the voltage is lowered from 1V to 0.05V, which may be regarded as one voltage scanning turn, and when the voltage scanning turn reaches the preset scanning turn, the one-time anode voltage cycle endurance test is ended. The voltage scan rate may be greater than or equal to 100mV/s, although other values may be set according to practical situations, and the embodiment is not limited herein. The preset number of scanning turns can be set according to the actual test conditions.
In this step, the process of performing the anode voltage cycle endurance test on the membrane electrode may cover the whole process of the fuel cell operation, and thus includes the start-stop process, so that the effect of start-stop on the anode catalytic layer is focused on performing the anode voltage cycle endurance test in this embodiment, so that the test on the membrane electrode is more comprehensive.
Optionally, the preset pressure is greater than or equal to atmospheric pressure, the preset temperature is greater than or equal to 75 ℃, and the preset cathode and anode humidity is 100%. The preset cathode and anode humidity comprises preset cathode humidity and preset anode humidity, wherein the preset cathode and anode humidity is 100%, and the preset cathode humidity is 100% and the preset anode humidity is 100%.
And 220, performing anti-electrode reversal test on the membrane electrode.
The step 220 specifically includes introducing hydrogen to the anode side of the fuel cell corresponding to the membrane electrode, introducing air or oxygen to the cathode side, maintaining the preset pressure, the preset temperature and the preset cathode and anode humidity unchanged, switching the load of the fuel cell to a current mode, increasing the current density to a preset current density at a preset current density change rate, switching the hydrogen introduced to the anode side of the fuel cell to nitrogen after the preset current density is maintained for a first preset time, and completing a counter electrode test for a second preset time.
Specifically, hydrogen is introduced into the anode side of the fuel cell corresponding to the membrane electrode, air or oxygen is introduced into the cathode side, the preset pressure, the preset temperature and the preset cathode and anode humidity are kept unchanged, the load of the fuel cell is switched into a current mode, the current density is increased to the preset current density at the preset current density change rate (wherein the preset current density change rate and the preset current density are related to a test bench for testing, and the specific setting can be performed according to the actual situation, the specific size is not specifically limited here), and the first preset time of the preset current density is kept, so that the fuel cell enters into a working state of normal operation. And then, switching the hydrogen gas introduced into the anode side of the single fuel cell into nitrogen gas, and continuing for a second preset time to form a hydrogen starvation environment so as to realize the test of anode anti-reverse polarity. Optionally, the first preset time is 300 seconds, and the second preset time is 10 minutes.
Step 230, judging whether the test of the membrane electrode reaches the set end condition.
Optionally, the setting the ending condition includes that the number of turns of the membrane electrode for the test reaches a preset number of turns, or the setting the ending condition includes that a pressure difference between an anode and a cathode of the fuel cell unit cell corresponding to the membrane electrode is smaller than a set voltage.
Specifically, the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode is less than the set voltage, which may be-2V, indicating that anode reversal has occurred. However, since the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode is smaller than the set voltage, the membrane electrode may need to be tested for a plurality of circles, and the required test time is long, when the test time is limited, the preset number of circles can be achieved by setting the set ending condition to test the membrane electrode circulation, so that the test time is effectively controlled. For example, when different membrane electrodes are tested at the same time, the membrane electrodes with relatively good durability and the membrane electrodes with relatively poor durability can be obtained by comparing the performances of the membrane electrodes after the different membrane electrodes are tested for the preset number of cycles.
If yes, go to step 240 to end the test of the membrane electrode.
If not, returning to the step of performing the anode voltage cycle endurance test on the membrane electrode, namely returning to the step 210.
In this embodiment, the pressure condition and the temperature condition of the anode voltage cycle endurance test and the anti-counter electrode test are the same, which is favorable for shortening the test time and improving the test efficiency. In other alternative embodiments of the present invention, the pressure conditions and temperature conditions of the anode voltage cycling endurance test and the anti-counter electrode test may also be different, and the present invention is not particularly limited herein.

When the anti-reverse electrode test in step 330 is completed, the gas introduced into the anode side of the single electrode of the fuel cell is nitrogen, the gas introduced into the cathode side is air or oxygen, in step 340, the gas introduced into the anode side is not changed, the gas introduced into the cathode side is switched to nitrogen, and nitrogen purging is performed for a fourth preset time on both the anode side and the cathode side, so that the current load is gradually reduced to 0, the emergency stop of a test bench for testing the membrane electrode is avoided, and the normal performance of the test is ensured.
Step 350, judging whether the test of the membrane electrode reaches the set ending condition.
If yes, go to step 360 to stop testing the membrane electrode.
If not, the step of performing the anode voltage cycle endurance test on the membrane electrode is returned, that is, the step 310 is returned.
Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the preset current densities corresponding to the anti-counter electrode test under different test turns are not exactly the same.
Illustratively, the preset current density is 0.2A/cm 2 for the first test, 0.5A/cm 2 for the second test, and 0.2A/cm 2 for the third test.
